25+ years of taking care of animals
Pet care experience
I love animals, especially dogs! So much so, this side "gig" is basically money I hand over to my 5 dogs for: vet care, high quality food, new beds, toys - all the luxuries in life they are used to. I have been pet sitting for over 25 years, I began in high school taking care of neighbors and family friend's pets. You can say I do it permanently now, I also foster for Diamond Dachshund Rescue and currently sit on their Board of Directors. I specialize in senior pets (they are my favorite!) since all my dogs are seniors. I have 3 Dachshunds (1 being a permanent foster) and 1 Pit Bull. I have volunteered many places taking care of pets - including overseas!
Reviews
Letty takes care of our dogs and our home as if they were her own. Told her she is priceless!
My wife and I are always at ease when Letty checks in or sits the family. She makes our time away less stressful knowing everyone’s cared for.
Letty is an amazing dog sitter. She is very patient and understanding with our fearful and nervous dog. Highly recommend her!
Letty is the best, most caring person. She knows how to handle our rowdy bostons. She is the most conscientious pet sitter we have ever had.

Information Letty G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to understand the history of the dog: how long have you had them, where did you get them from? What is the dog's "routine"? I like to evaluate the personality of the dog, every dog is different and I like to learn what they like and don't like, where will I have some difficulty in their care. For example, if they are not good with taking medication and they require daily medication I would like to try different methods to see what works best. Are they TV watchers? I have had some that are and they react (positively) to Animal Planet so have had to leave the TV on while they are alone so they stay stimulated and happy.
A typical day
I have experience with shy and fearful dogs, so many activities I do with those dogs are in and around the home to build trust such as leashing them and just having them sit in the front yard for a short period of time, leashed, watching the happenings of the neighborhood. Or I would do a leashed technique inside the home if they need to work on getting used to a leash. A lot of quiet time is used. Much depends on the needs of the dog and their personality. Active dogs I would like to take for a jog or the dog park. Moderately Active dogs I like walking around the neighborhood. I do enjoy taking dogs out to nearby trails and parks to help them explore new surroundings and smells.
